Natalie used to sleep on our chests for many of her naps. She just seemed to sleep better and longer… so we were more than happy to oblige. What’s not to love about a cute, cuddly baby sleeping on you?!? Well, since I went back to work, I need to get work done during the day and evenings, so we had to transition Natalie to more sleeping in the crib. (Which, at 3.5 months, is probably better for her!) Anyways, she’s doing very well – in large thanks to so many friends who offered advice, as well as Tracy Hogg’s “Secrets of the Baby Whisperer” book (Thanks Karen for loaning it to us!) Here’s a pic from a few weeks back – isn’t she precious?!?
- Wow, Mom, that last hour was BUSY! I need a rest. Can I cuddle on you?
Confession: Natalie has a cold and after a trip to Wal-Mart for photos (which caused her to miss a nap!), I let her sleep on me for 2 hours yesterday.
Don’t feel bad about those snuggly naps! They are gone WAY too fast! All of the sudden, you’ll look at your child who is way to big to sleep on your chest.
